So the idea of pic programming has peaked my interest since stumbling upon this site... So I ordered several different pics to work along with the Gooligum tutorials.
However, being quite the newb with IC's I mistakenly ordered surface mount chips instead of through hole chips needed for my programmer.
I'm sure it said somewhere in the description that they were surface mount by means of a 'code' I just didn't understand.
So my question is this.. Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for to make sure the next ones I buy are the correct chips. ie... I/SN, I/MF, I/P
I didn't really know where the best place to buy them from was.. So I just got them from microchipdirect and there where like 10 versions of the same chip, so I just guessed. Apparently I guessed wrong.
Thanks in advance. Any help would be appreciated.
